Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Grabs helper Sunday
Lilleberg notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
Lilleberg ended an 11-game point drought with the secondary assist on Brandon Hagel's second-period tally.

The 23-year-old has been a steady part of the Lightning's third pairing for much of the campaign, earning nine assists, 24 shots on net, 69 hits, 67 PIM, 33 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through a career-high 38 appearances.

McDonagh logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
McDonagh has four helpers over his last three contests. The 35-year-old defenseman typically doesn't produce offense that consistently -- this is his longest streak of the season and likely won't last much longer. Overall, he has 14 points, 43 shots on net, 82 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating while filling a top-four role as a shutdown defender.

Hedman set up a go-ahead goal by Nikita Kucherov in the second period. This was Hedman's third straight game with a point, his first streak of at least that many contests since a five-gamer from Nov. 27 to Dec. 8. The defenseman is up to six goals, 26 helpers, 92 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 20 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 39 outings this season.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Dishes pair of assists
Guentzel notched two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
This was Guentzel's third game back in Pittsburgh since the Penguins traded him away last season. It was also the first time he got on the scoresheet against his former team. The winger has five points over seven outings in January, putting him at 21 goals, 21 assists, 105 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 40 contests this season.

Lightning's Nick Paul: Fills empty cage
Paul scored an empty-net goal and added three hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
Paul has two goals and two assists during a four-game point streak, which he kept alive with a goal in the final minute of this contest. The 29-year-old forward was up on the second line as a winger Sunday since Conor Geekie was a healthy scratch. Paul has most often played as a third-line center, racking up 11 goals, 13 helpers, 59 shots on net, 31 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 35 appearances this season, giving him some value in deeper fantasy formats.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: One of each Sunday
Cirelli scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
Cirelli set up Brandon Hagel's game-tying goal in the second period before adding one of two empty-netters for the Lightning in the third. The 27-year-old Cirelli has three goals and an assist over seven contests in January. It's a bit of a slowdown for the center, but as a player with strong two-way skills, he'll sometimes sacrifice offense for defense. He's up to 17 goals, 36 points, 82 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 40 appearances. Cirelli remains on track to easily surpass his career high of 45 points from last season.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Leads with three points in win
Kucherov scored twice, added an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

The 31-year-old winger is rolling with three goals and five assists during a five-game point streak after being held off the scoresheet in the first two games of January. Overall, he has 62 points (24 on the power play), 135 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 39 outings this season. He is the fourth skater to reach the 60-point mark in the league this season, and the three-point effort put him ahead of Mikko Rantanen (60) while trailing only Leon Draisaitl (63) and Nathan MacKinnon (68).

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Sharp in Sunday's win
Johansson stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
Johansson had lost his previous two outings, allowing seven goals on 61 shots across those games. He got back on track in the second half of a back-to-back, putting in a good effort while receiving plenty of support in this contest. For the season, Johansson improved to 5-3-1 with a 3.18 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 10 appearances. Johansson doesn't tend to have good ratios, but he's worth streaming to chase wins as he plays on a strong team. Look for Andrei Vasilevskiy to be back in goal Tuesday in Boston.

He has 18 goals and 59 through 38 contests this campaign. Kucherov has been held off the scoresheet in just six games this season. That kind of consistency is golden in every format.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Stands tall in loss
Vasilevskiy made 23 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils on Saturday.
Vasilevskiy's elite technical skills were on full display during the game, but he couldn't get his glove on Stefan Noesen's quick release from the edge of the crease. Vasilevskiy is 6-3-1 in his last 10 starts and has allowed two or fewer goals six times in that span. Overall, he's 18-12-2 with a 2.33 GAA and a .915 save percentage this season. He is in the NHL's top-nine netminders, stats-wise, and he's a fantasy rock.
